I would have thought (personal opinion) that if you want to sell road bikes to current bikers, where better to show your capabilities than on the mountain course?

Last year when I was waiting to get on the boat at Liverpool, the road going Brambo bike pulled up and parked next to me.
It attracted much attention, and again, like the Mugen, it looked like a well finished product.
I did have a little giggle to myself when after about 10 minutes, someone asked the rider if the headlamp stays on all the time?
The rider had forgoten to switch the 'ignition' key off when he stopped.
It did seem a bit of a design flaw on a battery powered bike when you would want to conserve as much energy as posible that the lights can not be switched off when in 'live' mode
